One person, a thousand memories, millions of feelings, billions of pain. I left some things unspoken, unsaid and untold. I thought it was a great idea, but to be honest, it's really not. Typically, I just don't want anyone to see me weak or hurt. Aggression got me. And everyday I was like I got into the stages of cancer, one by one. "A pinch in one's heart is more painful than a day of toothache." I made my way out by looking for other things in this world we live in - anything, just to get out of my own resistance. It's hard because for a fact, we all know we couldn't fight ourselves at times. The ultimate battle is within ourselves. The silence I embraced for a long time had made things more deafening, and I don't know how that is. But I'm pretty much sure it didn't get any better. I suck at saying people how I truly feel, I suck at showing them what I want to do and I definitely suck at expressing my real emotions, feelings and words that I desire for them to know. I guess I suck at life. I can say, it was late when I got into small realizations of "I should have" and "I might have" God, time and movie nights was all part of the "moving on" part. Some people told me I lost the battle, and I lost much. But did I? Just because I was too weak that I didn't take the risk? Just because I sucked at saying how I truly feel? Or just because I didn't fight for that one person? If they all knew what thoughts, feelings and emotions I have carried in my heart, they would know how I desired much and how I wanted to fight more, it was more than words...

My Teddy

The corner of his mouth tilts upward slightly. I smile again. A smile!? A tiny one, but still. "Hm. So I got you to smile, that's progress, yeah? Can I get your name now?" I ask, swinging my feel a little. He shakes his head shyly, his mouth not moving at all. Geez! Why do I want to hear this dude talk so much? "Okay, that's fine. I can give you a nickname." I offer happily. He looks up from his book, raising his eyebrows. I just stare for a moment. He has nice eyes. Pretty brown chocolate orbs. They remind me so much of....... "Teddy." He shakes his head immediately, frowning. "What, why not? You remind me of my old teddy bear. He was a good listener and he didn't talk much..... just like you." I say softly, tilting my head. He continues to shake his head. I fold my arms, leaning back in my seat. "Yeah, it's definitely sticking. Teddy.....It has a nice ring to it, yeah?" He sighs, the first sound I have ever heard him make. "No." . . . *Jordan* Teddy!? Seriously!? She gave me a fucking NICKNAME!? What the hell does this girl want!? I stuff my hands into my pockets, walking down the busy street. Forget about her. She's just a annoying pretty girl, she'll go away. Everybody does. She HAS to go away. *Spoiler alert*: she doesn't. Don't get close to people or they'll end up getting hurt. That's my mindset. I've been through enough of that. This girl doesn't belong in my world anyway. She's too innocent. *Mature content* {Just a quick update, I am basically rewriting the story. I wrote it when I was in 8th grade and it makes me cringe every time I try to go back and edit it so keep in mind that it'll get better}
